Hello,

First, for future reference, there is now a mail list for NCL install  
questions, see:  http://mailman.ucar.edu/mailman/listinfo/ncl-install
> I have installed ncl_ncarg-5.0.0.Linux_x86_64_gcc3.tar on my x86_64-

You must have the GCC C compiler (v3.x) libraries installed on your  
host.  The requirement of having libg2c.so is a vestige of
this version of the GCC tools, as the gcc/g77 compilers required this  
library to interact.

Newer (v4.x) versions of the GCC compilers don't have this library  
requirement; if you can use a GCC v4.x compiled binary,
that may be a better option for you.

You can set the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point to  
where libg2c.so lives, as:

csh shells:  setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH  /path/to/libg2c

sh shells:  export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/libg2c
